The Astrological Sky for November
 
       The New Moon that occurred on November 3 at 11 degrees of Scorpio was also a rare Hybrid Total Solar Eclipse. In ancient times eclipses, especially solar eclipses have caused wonderment and also a certain amount of fear in people who observed them as the light was blacked out by the Moon passing between the Earth and the Sun. In modern society eclipses are now seen as trigger points for change, transformation and possible challenges in our lives depending on the house and aspects in our charts for about 6 months to a year or until the next new solar occurs.
 
        Solar and lunar eclipses always occur together about two weeks apart, one at the Full Moon and one at the New Moon. There are New and Full Moons each month, but they are not eclipses unless the two lights are in close proximity with the Moon’s nodes. Eclipses are extra potent new or full moons that can signify intense new beginnings or endings and are often labeled as undesirable because they sometimes appear to provoke a crisis, but they are really a gift from the cosmos, showing where a more healthy state of affairs will evolve.

       This Solar Eclipse was quite powerful. It occurring in the midst of a peak period in the Uranus/Pluto square and  Saturn is also connected to this eclipse as is the Mercury/North Node conjunction. This combination can take us on a deeper journey with the themes of emotional intensity, power and control, penetration, secrecy, fears, endings, death, healing and self-mastery. The Scorpio emphasis will also help us in gaining deeper understanding and the core essence or truth of a matter. While Solar Eclipses usher in beginnings, they also often usually bring with them endings. That’s because in order for something to firmly root so that it can flourish, space needs to be made. They can also bring life-changing events or reflections occur around the time of an eclipse. It is best to be open to unexpected change as new energies will be thrust into our lives, especially in the houses that the transiting Pluto square Uranus were in and the Scorpio house on your chart where the eclipse lands could be one where you have to learn some difficult and possibly challenging lessons. Also on Nov 21-22 when Mercury passes over the degree of the Nov 3 Solar in 11-12 degrees of Scorpio there will be the opportunity to activate new energies and a higher perspective in your life. So pay attention.  I found this information on this newsletter : http://cayelincastell.com/2013-november-free-celestial-timings/
       The astrological sky for November continues with Mercury in retrograde, meaning it appears to be moving backwards, from October 21th through November 11th. Another key time to watch is around the 12th-26th of November when Mercury hits the shadow point of this retrograde. Basically, the shadow point is when a planet comes to the same place in the sky it was when it stationed retrograde, in this case 18 degrees Scorpio, until Nov 27 when the retrograde cycle will be completely over and we can breathe a breath of fresh air into our new project/ideas and be able to easily communications with our friends and family during the holidays.

       Mercury retrogrades have challenges related to delays, miscommunications, and computer or car breakdowns,. During Mercury retrograde is NOT the time to sign contracts. Mercury retrograde is a time to rethink our needs, catch-up or finish things, not a time to move forward with new projects. It is important to use this time to study, tend to old business, improve communications skills, and update equipment.  Keep plans flexible so they can adapt after the cycle is complete.

       Every astrological event has a purpose and is by design able to help us in some way. We just need to attune to the energies present with awareness as to what it is about. Here are some things to do while Mercury is retrograde: Rethink your plans Reconsider your options Reconnect with someone from your past Regroup at a core level Revisit past ideas Recommit to your New Year’s resolutions Revamp your mission statement Rewrite your resume or bio Redo your budget Reinvent yourself in some way Have you be “re-ing” in some way?

       Here is what Jeff Jawer wrote in his Stariq New Moon Report at the end that is right on the make about the New Moon in Scorpio. “Addition by subtraction is a common theme of the New Moon in Scorpio, and is even more evident this time around. The Solar Eclipse and presence of restrictive Saturn reflect possible burdens that darken our lives with onerous obligations and self-doubt. Yet stripping expectations down to the core will reveal where we are wasting time and energy, freeing us to create more satisfying lives. http://www.stariq.com/pagetemplate/article.asp?PageID=3089
       On Sunday, November 17, 7:16 am PST, 10:16 am EST there will be a Full Moon with the Moon in Taurus and the Sun in Scorpio at 26 degrees of Taurus showing us there are many roads to the fulfillment of our dreams and visions. The shadow side of both Taurus and Scorpio is a resistance to change and being too willful. This is a favorable time for persistence with our goals, making them more concrete and useful. Nature provides without asking for anything in return and relationships are more rewarding when accepting and enjoying what we have is greater than our fear of loss. The Sabian symbol keynotes for these degrees emphasize having appreciation for the goodness in our lives, as well as the ability to adjust to new situations by tuning into their requirements. Simple joys are the best remedies for complicated emotions.

       I am looking forward to Thursday, November 21, 7:49 pm PST, 10:49 pm EST, when the Sun moves into Sagittarius and I can channel the intense energies of Scorpio into the expansive and adventures energies of Sagittarius in my fourth house with a trip to my home state of California.

       I just thought about the over-doing tendencies of Sagittarius and I wish everyone( including myself )  a safe, health and happy holiday season  Let’s all balance this sign's positive energies
with some attention to details, healthy foods and some time out for exercise and quite time can increases the chances of achieving our highest good.

       I will be in Seattle until Dec 5th and then off to Los Angeles for some Sun and a change to read my poetry in Venice Ca.  I will be doing reading until Dec 3 in Seattle. Check out my website for more information about readings or just call and we can discuss a consultation. 206 478-2724
